Hello My name is Codie Johnston Im new to lpf as a member ive been looking around here for quite some time now as i have recently taken this hobby more heavily. ive always been interseted in lasers but untill now i never had anything but cheesey underspec 5mW red lasers i did some research and purchased a 100mW green laser from rayfoss and Faona was very helpful as i read in alot of posts here. Anyway ill be on here a little more. i know its early in the game to think about building one but im looking to build a blu-ray laser in the future instead of buying one. but thats ahead of me im still learning all the details about lasers. anyway, im Codie hope to get familiar with everyone here.
